When paired with a solid preamp, they pick up subtle nuanced sounds without a lot of noise that needs to be dealt with later. Worth the price and live up to the Neumann name every time! close [-]

Kenny BergleGetting a pair of these excellent KM184s is a great idea. If you are lucky enough to get one, you'll want the second as soon as you hear the first! Do yourself a favor and get a pair straight away. You will be ecstatic that you did! 
Paul LeaThis is the modern standard in small-diaphram stereo mic'ing. A truly indispensible set of microphones for your studio arsenal. These mics will always find use as drum overheads, acoustic instruments, and guitar amps. Also popular
